Rescue system: run away from the host, calm down

Chapter 18
At this time, a simple carriage approached from a distance and stopped at the gate of Qiao Hai's yard.

The coachman immediately put down the footstool, and then stepped down a plump woman in her 40s in a dark purple gauze dress.

Walking to the door, twisting the silk handkerchief in his hand, he said sharply, "Hey! Mrs. Cao, why is your house so lively?"

As soon as her voice sounded, Mrs. Cao's heart skipped a beat, it's over.

Passing by this group of rough men, holding a silk handkerchief against his nose in distaste, he came to Granny Cao, took out a purse from his bosom, and handed it out, "The money is here, call your girl out!"

Someone who knew this person immediately yelled: "Isn't this the famous Mrs. Liu in our town? She specializes in this business. I heard that as long as she has a little bit of beauty in her hands, she will enter the building."

"That's right! That's right! I heard that there was a girl in Lin Family Village who was sold into it last time."

"It seems that the rumors are true. Mrs. Cao is really going to sell her granddaughter."

The crowd chattered and discussed one after another, and the scene became noisy for a while.

Mrs. Cao looked surprised!
"You, you, didn't you come here tomorrow?"

Granny Liu looked puzzled, "Didn't you call someone to inform me to come today?"

"I, I'm not, I don't." Granny Cao was in a panic now, she didn't know what to say, she felt something was wrong, and she couldn't say it.

"It doesn't matter whether it's today or tomorrow, it's the same. Take the money and bring it out. I don't have so much time to spend here." Granny Liu said impatiently.

The village chief looked in disbelief. He wanted to excuse this person before, but he was a member of Qiao's village. Now, there are witnesses and evidence.

"People in Qiao's Village are optimistic. It's not that we wronged her. Look! This is not to sell my niece." Cheng Qiang said loudly.

Cheng Rong and Cheng Hao took a step forward and blocked the room where the aunt was temporarily placed behind them. Qiao Dalan was locked in the west room before, but now he has been released. The mother and daughter are all in this room, and Doctor Huang is doing his best. Rescue Qiao Chudong.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu understood, it seems that business is not easy today! "Old lady Cao, why can't you make the decision for your granddaughter? You received a deposit and your fingerprints." He said and took out a slip of paper.

Under such circumstances, Mrs. Cao, who was named, dared not admit it, but she was indeed the one who pressed the handprint. She had nothing to say now, and tremblingly said: "Big sister, you see that the granddaughter is not selling, I will pay back the deposit." Give you."

As he spoke, he took out two taels of silver from his body, and handed it to Mrs. Liu.

Granny Liu laughed angrily, "Grandma Cao, sell it if you say it, and don't buy it if you say you don't buy it. You have such a big face. I tell you that I have to take him away today. If you stop me, be careful not to eat it today." As he spoke, he raised his hand, and two burly men came in, both holding long sticks in their hands.

She has been in this business for not a year or two, and she has never seen anyone, and the graves of those who dare to play tricks on her are more than ten feet high.

Looking at the situation, this Mrs. Liu is not easy to deal with!Cheng Xiaoxiao thought about it.

Mrs. Cao looked at the village head, "Look at this, this is not an old woman who wants to sell it, don't you think there is no way to do it?" Seeing the two big men, their legs softened, and they dared to be arrogant.

"I don't care about your grievances. I write this clearly in black and white. I will take it away. How you solve it later is none of my business."

As he spoke, he was about to step forward to get someone.

"How dare you!" Several men from the Cheng family blocked the door together, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Cheng Xiaoxiao took a step forward, stood between the two parties, looked directly at Mrs. Liu, and said word by word: "As far as I know, the buying and selling of human beings requires both parties to agree to each other, right? Since the seller is not willing now, you are forced to buy According to the law, we can go to the Yamen to sue you.”

Granny Liu bared a smile. She has a backer, and she would be afraid of these muddy legs. "I don't care if she wants to or not. Granny Cao is her grandmother and has the right to make decisions for her."

Cheng Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all, and continued: "Now that the Qiao family killed my aunt, now they may be murderers. You think murderers can make the decision."

"Do you know why so many of us are here? They killed my aunt, and we are planning to settle this matter privately. If you insist on taking people away, we don't mind making things bigger."

"Do you think the two people you brought can defeat our Qingshan Village, more than 20 men." Said the man who glanced at them.

A group of men took half a step forward, holding various agricultural "weapons" tightly in their hands, looking like they were about to fight.

Granny Liu saw that the current situation was not favorable to her, and she was still thinking about whether to do this order. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for her not to do it, and would it be a bit expensive to do it.

Seeing Granny Liu hesitate, Cheng Xiaoxiao continued to add fire.

"Furthermore, our village chief is a scholar. You don't have to kneel when you meet the county magistrate. If you have to go to court, you may not win. After all, the county magistrate is busy with people. More than 200 people in the whole village are making trouble in front of his yamen, and some bad rumors will spread, which will damage his reputation."

Granny Liu didn't dare to think about it, she had something to do with it, and there were people in the county government to help with the money, but if it affected the reputation of the county magistrate, she couldn't afford it.

He snorted coldly, "What a eloquent girl, I don't need to take her away, but you have to double the compensation."

"Ten taels agreed before, now you pay me 20 taels and I will leave immediately."

At this moment, Mrs. Cao came to her senses, "No, I don't have 20 taels, I only have [-] taels. Take it, take it. If you want to find someone to pay for it, you should find someone from the Cheng family. The Cheng family won't let you take them away. It's none of my business." thing."

Cheng Xiaoxiao twitched the corner of his mouth, this damn old woman was so quick to shake the pot, how could it be so easy.

"Oh! Really? If you beat my aunt to death, report it to the police!"

Qiao Hai became anxious all of a sudden, "What official report, isn't she still dead?"

"My aunt is only half-breathed now. Maybe she won't be able to survive tonight. What's the difference between death and death? It's certain that you will go to jail."

Granny Cao and Qiao Hai are so guilty, they don't want to go to jail, isn't it just reconciliation?

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Mrs. Liu, "Grandma Cao received the money and documents. You can ask her for it, but do you think two people who are going to jail can pay you back 20 taels?"

At this moment, Village Chief Qiao stepped out and coordinated: "20 taels is too much, and it's not worth that much if you sell the two of them. I think so! You let them pay [-] taels, how about it?"

Mrs. Liu didn't buy it, "I just want to send me five taels of silver, no way!"

Village Chief Qiao choked. He didn't expect the matchmaker to be so shameless that she couldn't get down.

"At least ten taels, even one less."

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and no one dared to speak. Mrs. Liu got impatient and said, "Hurry up and decide, or I can take people away."
